WASHINGTON, D.C. - Reason magazine author David Weigel presents an excellent snapshot of the candidates seeking the LP nomination for President at the Denver convention later this month.

Capturing the quirkiness and depth of this year's candidate field, Weigel presents the best cliff notes version of the candidates biographies and dissects each support base while ramping up for Denver.

His article, Who's Going to Get Your Wasted Vote? leads with a view of Republicans running scared of a Bob Barr candidacy but gives equal concern to the liberal left with candidacies by Dr. Mary Ruwart, Sen. Mike Gravel, Christine Smith and Steve Kubby.

Short on stances, the article will not provide a reader the depth of the candidate's campaign positions. However, it remains an excellent one-stop read for an overview of the party's diverse field of candidates.
